Neutrons: A Look at Complexity

Neutrons enable us to gaze deep into the heart of matter. As the building blocks of atomic nuclei, neutrons are the ideal probes for investigating crystals, membranes and other systems at the atomic level. In his keynote speech at the 2010 end-of-year ceremony, Prof. Dieter Richter of the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science gave exciting insights into the far-reaching opportunities offered by neutron research to representatives of science, industry and politics.
